Public IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses are assigned by ARIN or the American Registry for Internet Numbers (http://www.arin.net) for Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States. ARIN in turn then assigns IP space to large ISP’s who will then give them out to their customers. ARIN is a nonprofit organization.
